Men And Their Necessary Evil

Man has always shown signs of adventurism which is very evident from the fact that he in always inclined to marry a woman. Supporting this fact, if you were to look into the apes when they descended from the trees, we find that they fell into the trap of hunting food while the female apes sat around a cozy fire place and gossiped all day. This irritated the male species but due to their adventurism they restrained their emotions on the females and expressed it via crude cave drawings depicting them savagely killing their opponents.

Men have always longed for something which is termed as a “Necessary Evil” or in plain English a “Wife”. There is a time when he refuses to listen to thinking part of his brain and this leads to Bigamy (Motto: I don’t know that one wife is too many). Having said that, I may also be persuaded to look at another angle where many have been successful with bigamy. It’s just that they haven’t come out with those formulas in open and my guess is that they may be selling them on need basis. If anyone of you has got it kindly email it to me.

There is no way in the world that a man can ever understand a woman and I say this because I am married and you are going to read beyond this line because you are also married. Let me explain the reason for the above statement with scientific data (i.e. what happened to my neighbour’s family). We all know that if you want to celebrate some occasion we got to get some gifts. Men would accomplish this task with such ease say for instance it’s your friends house warming ceremony. You would straight walk into a departmental store and pick up the new power tool box with 256 equipments (3 AAA batteries also included) and walk out of the store in under 5 minutes. While the same scenario with your wife would be that she would have gone to the mall 45 days in advance and yet to return. Finally she arrives with a Chinese flower vase depicting a monk with a fiery dragon breathing fire which is of no use to anybody.

Not only has she paid 45 times than what you have but also would have spent 3 more days selecting the gift wrapper. I wonder who found this gift wrapping technology. This is the only technology which becomes obsolete fast than even computers. The whole wrapping of the gift takes roughly 3 years and yet those who receive the gift would tear it apart in less than 7 nanoseconds. So why waste the time on it? Tell this to a woman and you know what will happen. It may result in one of the main causes for the third world war.

Women have a preconceived notion that any gift which may be of some use to someone is not at all a choice. Like that tool box which I said maybe of much use to the man while trying to either fix a leaking faucet or as a surface-to-air missile during a fight with his wife. Yet they never agree to it. They rather gift a Van gosh painting or a China Flower vase or a 3rd Century cave drawing of a snake to the tool box (Even with batteries included in them)

Next is about dressing sense which is a separate blog by itself but nevertheless has to be mentioned here. I wonder how a women’s eye is able to differentiate the 16 million colors which come in Adobe Photoshop while men can never even differentiate between a red and a maroon Ferrari. They seem to be obsessed with colors that it always takes them ages to buy a dress for themselves (sometimes civilisations come and go by the time they are done) but when it comes to selecting your trousers you will be given a graceful 2 minutes. As any other man, you would have picked up that grey pants which you have 40 numbers back home. I guess the dress makers use up all the colors for the women’s apparels that all they have left is black and grey which is used for our pants.

I got to put a stop here, since my wife has come back from shopping. In all I would say with all these difference known to us we still for some reason beyond our reasoning capacity seem to grovel at their feet always.

One point of view is that if we were not after women then the whole economy would fail. There would be no malls, no bouquets, no market for Chinese vases and most importantly no credit card and telemarketing calls. If this was the case, then all men would do is to sit in their couch and watch a cricket match and expect the women to bring the remote to our hands. It would be great if life was like that but let’s not dream too much.

So my reason is that perhaps we are trying to convince them that the tool box is a good gift at least for our carpenter.

Note: Please turn the power driller settings from HIGH to WIFE when used as a missile during a fight for maximum benefit.
